Anyone going to The Levellers / NMA in Manchester, Jul 1st?
« on: April 04, 2018, 07:12:32 PM »

Just found out The Wildhearts are playing as well!  If it wasn't a 'must' before', it certainly is now!

Three fine bands on the same bill.  I know Bunny's up for it, anyone else?  Could be an excuse for a good pre-gig meet to tide us over until the inevitable and eagerly awaited NMA Christmas tour...   ???

MR have you clocked their will also be a reggae band on, Zion Train? Bit of a strange mix this one. So with liquid sunshine,theres likely to be a bit of funk in the air!!

I know nothing about Zion Train... but I do remember seeing The Stone Roses at Heaton Park a few years ago and The Wailers (without Bob, obviously) doing an hour long reggae set.. fook me, that was dreary, I've seen some terrible support acts before but this was a whole new level of bad.   ::)

Nearer the time I'll investigate what times the bands are on, seeing as open-air gigs are so expensive when it comes to drinks, we might 'pre-load' before getting into the venue... or figure out how to smuggle some drinks in there!   ;)

Hey, Bunny, many ladies have told me I'd be a 'good catch'... (in my fevered imagination...)

By the way, it appears that The Levs are doing 'Levelling The Land' in full (plus other hits)... again.   ;D
